GAINESVILLE, Fla. (WCJB) – Alachua County School Board President Dr Leanetta McNealy has come under fire after she was seen not wearing a face mask at a crowded public event.
This happened during the Price Is Right game show Tuesday night at the O’Connell Center.
McNealy said she did not break any rules for the event as only competitors were required to wear masks. She also claims the photos were taken while she was eating.
“It’s really strange that people are looking at me to take a picture of me, why didn’t they take one of the pictures when I had the mask on,” McNealy asked. “That’s what was amazing to me. They took advantage of it when I didn’t have it.
The school board is in a battle with the state to force students to wear masks due to the pandemic. The Florida Department of Education is currently withholding salaries from Alachua County School Board members over their refusal to allow parents to remove students from mask mandates.

“I am not in the schools in Alachua County, I am not sitting on the platform. I’ll tell you there will always be masking in the Alachua County School Board bedroom, ”McNealy said.
